Scopus is a multidisciplinary abstract and citation database used for finding peer-reviewed literature, tracking citations, and evaluating academic research. It helps researchers conduct literature reviews, monitor trends, and assess the impact of their work through metrics like the H-index. Scopus also provides journal metrics such as CiteScore and SJR, aiding in journal selection for publishing. Additionally, institutions use it for benchmarking research performance, identifying collaboration opportunities, and supporting grant applications. Researchers can create author profiles to showcase publications and track their citation impact within the global academic community.
